Abstract

An apparatus for connecting two pairs of conductors (306, 308) and one pair of ground wires (904, 906) and for allowing separation of the same upon the application of a tensional force upon at least one of the conductors or ground wires. The apparatus comprises two plates (102, 104) that each defines three holes configured to receive two conductors and a ground wire, wherein the plates are positioned adjacent to each other such that the respective holes in each plate are aligned such that the conductors and ground wires coming from each plate would be in physical contact. Three connectors (400, 500) hold the plates together. The first two connectors (500) are configured to release the plates upon the application of a tensional force on the conductors or ground wires before the third connector (400) releases the plates, thereby separating the conductors before separating the ground wires.
